To all who- 1t it may concern:

Be it known that I, Lnn b. OHADWICK, a citizen of the United States,resldlng at lfiast Cleveland, in the county of Cuyaproduce a stove whichmay be constructed principally of sheet metal, but which will be capableof withstanding the incidents of use while retaining the otheradvantages referred to hereinbefore.

The. invention disclosed herein is taken from my application No.797,217, filed Oct. 25, 1913, of which this application is a division.

In the drawings forming part hereof, Figure 1 is a front elevation, andFig.2 an end elevation, of a stove constructed in accordance with myinvention; Fig. 3 a

' vertical sectional View, the section being stove base. I

taken on a planepassing near the front of the stove; Fig. 4 a horizontalsectional view through the lower portion of the stove 1, above thesupply pipe; and Fig. 5 a detail in perspective of one of the corners,of the Describing by reference characters the various parts illustratedherein, 1 denotes a downwardly and outwardly flaring skirt which dependsfrom a rectangular base plate the upper end of the skirt projectingabove the plane of the plate and forming therewith an upwardlyprojecting peripheral bead 3. The lower end of the skirt is bentinwardly to form a false wire, as shown at 4. Each corner of the skirtis cut out, as shown at 5 (see Fig. 5) the recess thus formed extendingfrom the bottom of the skirt upwardly approximately as far as the top ofthe bead 3. I

The base (comprising the plate 2 and skirt 1) may be supported by legs.indicated generally at 6. Theselegs are preferably of sheet metal andcomprise each an angular flange 7, which is adapted to fit beneath theskirt 1, the flanges being of sufiicient length to extend beyond therecesses 5 and being of such shape as to conform to the under surface ofthe skirt 1 on each side of such recess. The legs are perfectly made ofsheet metal and are conveniently held in place by means of angularplates 8 (preferably of sheet metal) and of sufficient extent to coverthe recesses 5 and extend beyond the lateral edges thereof and of suchshape as to conform to the 'outer surface of the skirt 1 on each side ofsaid recess. These plates cover the recesses 5 and in effect, completeand form the corners of the skirt,being.of such shape and size as to fitthe portions of the skirt on each side of each recess 5. The said platesform means whereby the legs may be secured in place, stove bolts 9 beingused for the purpose of connecting the legs and the plates to the skirt.

The space above the base plate 2 and below the stove top plate and theoven, is divided into a plurality of compartments A, B, and C. Thecompartment A is shown as open at the back and is located below the ovenD and contains the oil distributing receptacle and the oil dispensingreceptacle; the compartment B is shown as open at the front and closedat the back, is adjacent to the compartment A and located beneath theoven D and is provided with a burner for operating the oven thereabove.The compartment C is also shown as open at the front and closed at theback. It contains thecooking burners and is located below the stove top.The particular construction whereby the various compartments are produced will now be described.

A pair of end panels project upwardly from opposite ends of the baseplate, each panel fitting within the bead 3. The right hand end panel isshown as provided with inwardly projecting top and bottom flanges 10.Each vertical edge of this panel and one of the vertical edges of theleft hand panel are provided with tubular columns 11, the metal beingbent in such a way as to provide columns which are elliptical insection. the columns being open toward the interior of their respectivecompartments. The front lateral edge of the left hand panel formed bybending or curving the-plate outof the compartment A. This Wardly towardthe end of the stove and then back for a short distance parallel to thelong side of the base. This bead fits within a similarly shaped head orcolumn 13 formed at the left hand end of a front plate 14, which frontplate covers the front plate is provided with a door opening, the metalsurrounding the opening being flanged inwardly, as shown at 14?. Eachend panel is provided with an outwardly projected rectangular centralportion 15 bounded by an outwardly projecting bead 16 and connected tothe peripheral portion of the panel by inclined surfaces 17. Thisconstruction strengthens the panels (which are preferably of light sheetmetal) and contributes to the ornamental appearance of the same. Theleft hand panel is provided with a bottom flange 10, similar to the likedesignated flange on the right hand panel. At its upper end however, theleft hand panel as connected by stove bolts 18 with an angle flange 19depending from the oven 20. The bottom flanges 10 are connected to thestove base, as by means of stove bolts 21, and the similarly designatedtop flange of the right hand panel is connected in like manner to thestove top 22, which is located aboye the burners 23 (employed forordinary cooking purposes) and which is provided with openings for thegrids 24 located above said burners. 'The top 22 is provided with adepending flange 22 extending therearound, and the openings above theburners are conveniently reinforced by bending down the metal, asindicated at 24, to form annular flanges.

25 denote a back plate the bottom whereof is supported from the base 2by means of a flange 26 and stove bolts 27, the upper end of the plateassisting to support the top plate 22 and being connected to said platein any convenient manner. The ends of the plate 25 are bent inwardly toform flanges. as shown at 28, the right hand flange coopcrating with theright hand end panel and the left hand edge cooperating with a verticalpartition 29, which extends substantially parallel with the panels. isprovided with a flange 30 by means of which it is secured to the base 2(as by stove bolts) and is secured at its upper end to an angle flange31 projecting downwardly from the oven 20. The front and back edges ofthe plate 29 are bent to give a tubular or hollow-column effect, asindicated at 31, this effect being produced in the same manner and theresultant appearance being the same as in the case of the 'tubnlar orhollow columns 11.

32 denotes a partition which extends parallel with the partition 29 andis located between the same and the left hand panel of the stove. Thispartition 32 is provided with flanges 33 and 34 at the top and bottomthereof by means of which. respectively, it may be secured to the baseplate 2 and the bottonrof the oven 20. The partition 32 is preferablyformed integral with the front plate 14, the two plates forming togetheran angle plate. 35 denotes the back plate, which cooperates with theplates or partitions 29 and 32 to form a compartment for the ovenheating burner 39. The plate 35 may be conveniently retained in place bymeans of the flange 36 at the bottom thereof, which may be bolted to thebase plate 2, and by means of lateral flanges 37 and 38 cooperatingrespectively with the partitions 32 and 29, the upper end of the plate35 abutting against and being secured to the bottom of' the oven.

From the bottom of the distributing receptacle there projects an oilsupply pipe 40, said pipe extending through the partitions 32 and 29 andthe right hand panel of the stove, the right hand end of the pipe beingclosed by a suitable cap 41. The pipe may be supported by means of aplate -l2 carried by the partition 29 and to which the pipe is securedby means of a clamp 43 (shown in detail in my application No. 797,217hereinbefore referred to; also by means of a bracket 41 which projectsupwardly from the plate 2.

The left hand end of the pipe projects downwardly from and communicateswith the bottom of cylindrical cup 45, forming the distributingreceptacle, there being a rectangular d rain sink 46 having an inclinedbottom 47 extending below the top of the cup 45 and communicating withsaid cup. The receptacle 37 is mounted in a carrier l8 which is carriedby a door pivoted to the front of the compartment included between thepartition 32 and the left hand panel. The details of constructionwhereby the receptacle is supported and swung into and out of placewithin its compartment form the subject matter of a divisional application.

The oven 20 is described at length in my application No. 797,217, withthe exception of a detail which will appear hereinafter. As illustratedhereinand in said application, the oven comprises generally a pair ofwalls 49 and 50 having lagging 51 therebetween, the lagging surroundingthe top, sides and rear of the oven. Within the oven space proper is alining 52 having openings 53 in the top thereof communicating with downflues 54 which communicate at their bottom, through passageways 55, withvertically extending flues 56. At their upper ends, the flues 56communicate with a flue 57 covering the top of the oven and the laggedspace between the plates 4-9 and 50. In the oven shown herein, the flue57 is pr vided with a sheet of corrugated metal. 58, which spaces theWalls 49 and 59 thereof apart.

After passing through the flue 57, the products of combustion from theburner 39 pass through the collar 60 into a suitable outlet pipe (notshown).

The back wall of the oven is preferably formed in part by the back plate61, which extends the full length of the stove and some distance abovethe top of the oven. An end plate 62, supported on top of the plate 22,extends from the rear portion of the right hand end of the stove top 22to a height substantiall equal to that of the oven, and the upper e geof this plate and the top of the oven are shown as connected by awarming shelf 63-. That portion of the back plate 61 which extends abovethe shelf 63 and above the topof the oven may be supported by means of apair of angular brackets 64. The forward edges of the warming shelf andof the end piece 62, as well as the upper edge of the back late 61, maybe stiffened and artistically nished by means of metallic binding 65. I

By the construction illustrated and de' scribed herein, it will beapparent that I have produced a stove base which, while very economicalof production, possesses all of the rigidity of one wherein thedepending flange 19 is" continuous, such rigidity being secured in andthrough the cooperating construction of the legs and the clamping plates9. It will be evident further that I have produced a cooperatingconstruction of stove base, side and end walls and stove top whereby theburners and the oil reservoir are inclosed and protected and this resultis secured in and through the use of relatively inexpensive light sheetmetal, the parts being connected and shaped in such manner as to producean eflicient and attractive construction.

"F or convenience of distinguishing the transverse part tions one fromthe other, I have employed" the term panel in connection with therectangular plates at the ends of the stove base and have referred tothe intermediate plates 29 and 32 as partitions. As the parts referredto are made from plates of sheet metal, the term plate will be used asthe term to de ignate these parts generically. c
